Ducks still trying to work out kinks as players returnj
Lazar Stefanovic - Scores 10 off benchStefanovic finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 79-66 loss to Oregon.
ImpactOn a night where the Utes struggled, Stefanovic provided some offense with a pair of threes and 10 of the team's 20 bench points. He also contributed a team-high three assists. The freshman from Yugoslavia has had an inconsistent season thus far for Utah, as he's connecting on just 35 percent of his field goals.

Jacob Young - Season-high 22 pointsYoung closed Saturday's 79-66 victory over Utah with 22 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes.
ImpactYoung had an efficient shooting night, connecting on 56 percent of his field goals en route to a season-high 22 points.

Eric Williams - Quiet in returnWilliams amassed zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 79-66 victory over Utah.
ImpactAccording to Chris Hansen of the Oregon Register-Guard, Williams sat out a Dec. 21 contest against Pepperdine due to knee soreness. He appears to have gained the necessary clearance for a matchup nearly two weeks later, though he came off the bench for the third consecutive contest. The production has suffered as a result, as Williams is averaging just 1.3 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last four games, so it's difficult to trust him from a fantasy perspective heading into Pac-12 play.

N'Faly Dante - No sign of knee sorenessDante supplied eight points (4-7 FG), 10 rebounds, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 79-66 win over Utah.
ImpactDante was limited to just 10 minutes in a Dec. 21 matchup against Pepperdine, and per Chris Hansen of the Oregon Register-Guard, he sat out the second half due to knee soreness. The 6-11 center appears to be just fine 10 days later, as not only did he start, but he saw a season-high 27 minutes. The Ducks have had their fair share of struggles this year, but a healthy Dante helped them pick up their first Pac-12 victory. He appears to be their preferred option at center for the foreseeable future.
